It felt like time slowed down for a moment as she awaited his response. Her heart began to sink as she felt him let go of her hand. It was a brief second that she thought he was about to reject her but she didn’t even have time to fully process it as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her close. She was surprised as his lips suddenly met her’s in a kiss. All worries and hesitation drained out of the knight as she closed her eyes and melted into the kiss. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed into him. 

As he pulled away, she met his gaze with a bright smile. She blinked in mild surprise as he addressed her by her name and smirked at him. “Well, I think I got the message but it’s still nice to hear.” She said with a small laugh. The knight lightly toyed with his hair as he gave her another quick kiss. “If you’ve waited as long as I have then I might owe you an apology.” 

She moved to lightly caress his cheek with her hand, still rather shocked by the mutual feelings. Penelope grinned and him again and shook her head. “I guess I should start listening to Olivia more...” She mumbled with a small smirk as she thought about the other female knight. [i]Though if I had listened to her back then, I might have made the wrong choice..[/i] She thought to herself. 

The knight suddenly became aware of the world around them. She had been so swept up in the moment that she didn’t even bother to think what kind of scene they were causing out in the street. Her cheeks grew red from embarassment as she realized a few people were looking over at them with confusion and curiosity. She let go of Crow and took a small step back to put a bit of distance between them. “I guess this probably wasn’t the best place to do this..” She told him with a small, embarrassed chuckle.
